Family Home Evening

Family Home Evening is always very interesting. It used to be very frustrating, Brett would insist on playing the piano. I am always tired and not willing to hear the banging on the piano. That was until I realized the kind of joy that he gets, by being a part of the program. We decided that Brett get to pick and play the opening and closing songs. Mom or Dad get to do the lessons. I will tell you, that it makes such a difference and brings such sweet spirit to our Home Evenings. It is fun to watch him try and decide what songs we are going to sing. Sometimes we get three measures into a songs and he stops playing the piano, looks at us and announces, “No, No, No, Snowman.” Of course we change the songs and go on. I am grateful for the Brett's love and passion of ALL things.

What Would You Say?

I want to do some vinyl lettering on a 14 1/2"w X 5'5"l living room wall. The biggest struggle is what to say. What can I say that is not offensive, that is inspirational, that is not written on everyone else's wall? This is something that will be seen by EVERYONE who walks into my house, so I need some serious help. What would you say, if it were your wall? Post your quote or saying in the comments section below, and feel free to post as many as you want. At the end of one month(Oct 9th) I will announce the winning quote, and I will send a surprise gift to that person. Good Luck!

Brett and Kate: Our Perfect Pair in the Kitchen

Brett LOVES to cook in the kitchen. You so much as turn on the blender or pull a whisk out of the drawer, and it takes him less then 5 seconds for him to get to the kitchen from anywhere in the house, that includes scaling a gate. He love to try snitches from the mixer, unless we are cooking for other people. Then he shows some self restraint. Anyway, Kate loves to help clean up the cooking mess. What a perfect Pair.


She is so Yummy!!
